Freshping Alternative After the Freshworks Shutdown

Freshworks shut down Freshping on March 6, 2026 with no replacement product. DevHelm picks up where it left off — 50 free monitors, custom-domain status pages, and monitors-as-code via CLI and Terraform.

Switch to DevHelm if Freshping shut down and you need a maintained uptime monitor with status pages, webhooks, and monitors-as-code.
Stay with Freshping if you already migrated to another tool and it meets your needs — there is no Freshping account to stay on.

Why Teams Switch to DevHelm

The three differences that matter most.

monitors:
- name: api-prod
url: https://api.example.com
interval: 60s

Rebuild once, manage in git forever

Freshping was dashboard-only — fine until you had 50 monitors and then the product vanished. DevHelm defines monitors, alert channels, and status page bindings in YAML or Terraform. PR-reviewed in git, deployed with `devhelm deploy`. The next vendor sunset is a config change, not a weekend of manual re-entry.

You — any incidents this morning?
DevHelm — 2 active, 1 acked.

MCP server for AI agents

Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients can query incidents, create monitors, and ack alerts directly.

Cover the blind spot Freshping never had

Freshping only watched your URLs. When AWS, Stripe, or Cloudflare goes down, your app breaks even if your servers are fine. DevHelm correlates alerts against live dependency status across 80+ vendors — surfacing upstream outages on your status page instead of flooding on-call with redundant pings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Freshping still available?▾
No. Freshworks permanently shut down Freshping on March 6, 2026. Free accounts were disabled that day, paid subscriptions stopped renewing, and all data was permanently deleted after a 90-day retention window (June 4, 2026 for free-tier users). Freshworks does not offer a replacement monitoring product.
What is the best Freshping alternative?▾
For managed SaaS with a generous free tier, DevHelm offers 50 free monitors, a custom-domain status page, webhooks, and first-party CLI + Terraform — closest to Freshping's simplicity with more developer tooling. UptimeRobot also offers 50 free monitors (5-minute checks, non-commercial only since Dec 2024). Self-hosted teams often choose Uptime Kuma.
Can I import my Freshping monitors into DevHelm?▾
There is no one-click Freshping importer. If you exported XML or CSV before the June 4, 2026 deletion deadline, use those files as a reference to rebuild monitors in DevHelm YAML or Terraform. Otherwise, inventory URLs from your runbooks and deploy with `devhelm deploy -f devhelm.yml --yes`.
How does DevHelm compare to Freshping's free tier?▾
Both offered 50 free monitors. Freshping checked every 1 minute with 5 public status pages and 10 probe locations; DevHelm checks every 5 minutes with 1 custom-domain status page and 4 regions. DevHelm adds CLI, Terraform, SDKs, webhooks, dependency intelligence, and heartbeat/MCP monitoring — and unlike Freshping, it is still actively maintained.
Why did Freshworks shut down Freshping?▾
Freshworks cited portfolio simplification — Freshping sat outside their core Freshdesk and Freshservice products and generated no direct revenue. New signups were suspended in 2023; the product was fully deprecated in early 2026 with no successor.
